Barbados Immigration Form

[Mad4WDW]

Hi All,

 

Anyone else going to a few days having trouble with this online immigration form?

Filled in our form and its stuck on the submitting popup thats just spinning.While waiting  Ive filled in my mom and dads for them, submitted and got the email receipt back almost straight away. Same computer same web browser! So frustrating 😞

One of the posts makes reference to sacking off the P&O link and doing it direct with the Barbados tourism site

As I understand it, you can't complete it more than 72 hours of arrival, which for us will be when we are in St Maarten. That could be interesting for folk that may not have online access.

That’s us 😀 I guess we’ll seek help on the ship 👍

Having spent most of the afternoon trying to submit my details to Barbados Immigration for my flight out I have finally succeeded on the 5th attempt.  What happens now at the end of the cruise when the ship returns to Barbados?  The procedure always used to involve filling out a form and presenting it with your passport   to the Immigration Officers on board when the ship docked in Barbados at the end of the cruise, does this still happen or do we have to fill in another on line form during the cruise?

Just a thought do we need to complete a form if landing by sea and not staying on the island post cruise? My research gives me conflicting information 🤷‍♂️

A bleddy good question and I can’t wait for the answer 👍

We got back off Britannia last week, all you have to do when you return to Barbados is pop along to the live lounge with your passport and cruise card

[devonuk]

What happens if you arrive by a cruise ship and have not already done an immigration form online? 

[Chippyminton]

Our form was checked at Gatwick before we flew out, not sure what happens if you cruise from Southampton, guess it will be arranged on board or nobody would be able to get off.

Me too! 🤔

At first I thought not as some fly home on arrival day and others stay overnight on the boat before flying home the next day. Then, after checking further online, I think we may do so.

I suppose it's no different to having an ESTA to enter the US, regardless of mode of travel.

 

Hopefully, someone will have the definitive answer.

My research shows 2 schools of thought 🤷‍♂️

I’ve emailed the Barbadian authorities but I’ve not had a reply thus far.

Do you need to fill in the form if sailing from Southampton and flying back. 

If so do you need to fill in form before sailing or onboard

Has anyone done this trip and can give helpful advice on this
